About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
“Therry was great with my dog Vinny!! He really seemed to love her and she was very reliable with sending me pictures and updates of him throughout. I will definitely be trusting Therry with Vinny in the future”


“Five stars to Devon!!! She’s the best dog walker ever. She cares so much for our fur balls and I know they are in good hands with her. Very trustworthy. We’re moving out of town and so sad we won’t have Devon to walk our dog after this month. She even got our pets a going away present. Unexpected and so sweet!!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs! My services does not stop with just dogs, please ask me about your other lovable critters! I do work full time, so my services will primarily be available after 3:30 and on weekends. If my services are needed before 3:30pm, Please arrange them with me well ahead of time so that I can make the necessary changes in my FT work schedule to fulfill your needs! I am currently working full time Monday-Thursday, so I am available Fridays-Sundays. Depending on your location, I may be available for evening drop ins during the week after 530pm. If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and
About: I have had experience in dog sitting my friends’ dogs in the past. Now I want to do it more and give our dog more friends to play with also! Everybody wins! I can be available on weekdays in the afternoon , and weekends after 10 AM for dog sitting. I can walk dog every 2-4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard with my friendly husky named Zangy and Maltipoo named Nimbus in the house. Lots of space for dogs to play and plenty of treats.

About: I have had a dog or cat, male & female, most of my life in both urban, suburban, and rural settings. Comfortable with all breeds and needs. I’m not afraid of the dirty work and am not lazy. I will accomodate your needs and follow your instructions verbatim. I will treat your pet as my own. I have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week but I know well in advance what that will be and can control it with adequate notice. I’m gainfully employed already, but recent life changes have left me with additional free time and a need for supplemental income. I truly love animals (just check my Instagram feed...) and can handle anything. I will ensure your furbaby is treated with the same care/love that you would provide he or she.
“Rachel came and met me at my house for a walkthrough. She is very sweet with my dog. She was a trooper even when my pup had an accident. Thank you Rachel and Rover for peace of mind.”

About: I've had pets for my entire life, whether they be dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters or even snakes. I have always been active in the caretaking of my family's pets. I am the go-to dog sitter/walker for multiple households and am trusted enough to be given my own keys as well as garage codes. I always do my best to make sure the animals are well taken care of and to keep my client's home clean. I am a college student, and as such have a significant amount of free time. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I always attempt to center my daily schedule around any pet care that is on that day. I do not currently offer dog boarding, but I always take great care to ensure that my client's home remains intact and sanitary. I make sure to only use dog food/treats provided by the pet owner to avoid potential complications involving diet or allergies. I also take steps to avoid potentially exposing my clients to any allergies that they may have, such as peanuts.
About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies!

About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years—both my own and others’—and I truly treat each animal like family. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and TLC. Whether it’s following a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or giving your fur baby all the snuggles and attention they deserve, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to be flexible with pet drop-ins, walks, and in-home sitting. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening visits during the week, and have extended availability on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or just cozy cuddle time. I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. I’m mindful about doors, gates, and any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both you and your pets.

About: I've had dogs of my own since I was 10, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Over the years, I've gained experience with all kinds of dogs, from smaller breeds to larger dogs, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. I've also worked with dogs who require extra care and attention, including epileptic and anxious dogs, which has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and adaptable. I understand that every dog is different, and what works for one might not work for another. Whether a dog is energetic and playful, a little nervous around new people, or needs extra attention due to a health condition, I'm happy to take the time to understand what makes them feel most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I'd give my own. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away! I'm a freelancer and substitute teacher who sets my own schedule, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm often available for same-day bookings and can accommodate pets who need a little extra attention or more frequent care. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to get to know each one and tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means going on walks, playing, getting some extra cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I want every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I'll also send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing!
About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!
“Christine is a gem! My dog loves her and she is sweet, super responsive, and reliable. She takes lots of pictures and always makes me feel like my furry baby is in good hands.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and even taken care of pets of friends and family! I love walking dogs, playing with cats and dogs, and taking care of them. I’m especially good with big dogs as I’ve had Great Danes all my life. I’m a college student so I’m busy but most days I have a couple hours in between classes to get things done. My weekends are easier to fit things in like house sitting. But I’m also flexible! When caring for pets I will make sure they have all the food, water, and attention they need! If they need a walk or to be let out, I am there for them. If they just need all the pets, I would be happy to provide that too!!

About: Hi! My name is Tiana, and I’m 23 years old. I’m currently studying Pre-Veterinary Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University and working toward my bachelor’s degree. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals! I also have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets who may be older, anxious, or have extra needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! As of august 25th I will be back fulltime at the ohio state university. I have classes on campus from 8am-3pm. I offer pet care for morning, late afternoon, and evening, only on WEEKDAYS. However on WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, and LONG WEEKENDS, I am available for 24/7 care! I will send texts, pictures, and videos of all activities that your pet and I will do. From playing together in your living room to even snagging a pic of potty time, I’ll make sure that you know your pet is being cared for and safe. I will also give daily updates and tell you what we did for that day!

Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Africa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
